Eduardo VIII
Eduardo VIII was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire from January to December 1936. His reign was marked by controversy due to his intention to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcée, which led to his abdication, making him the only British monarch to voluntarily relinquish the throne. His decision was rooted in a desire to marry for love, which clashed with the expectations of the monarchy. After abdicating, he was given the title Duke of Windsor and lived much of his life in France.
Born on Jun 23, 1894 (130 years old)
